About Steiglitz

Steiglitz is a small rural coastal locality in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, situated on the western shores of Moreton Bay approximately 54 kilometres south-east of Brisbane CBD and 40 kilometres north of the Gold Coast's Southport. With a population of 682 residents across 11.4 square kilometres, the area has a low residential density and a relaxed rural character shaped by its agricultural heritage and coastal setting. The locality is named after Stegelitz in Germany, reflecting the German pioneer families who first settled the district in the 19th century.

The Cabbage Tree Point headland — where the main residential cluster sits — juts into Moreton Bay, giving residents access to coastal views, fishing, and the calm tidal waters of the bay. The surrounding landscape includes cane fields and rural properties that have defined the area since the 1800s, when the district was known as Pimpama Island. Services and shopping are available in nearby Jacobs Well and Ormeau, while both the Gold Coast and Brisbane are accessible by road for work and major amenities.

Steiglitz falls under postcode 4207 and is governed by the Gold Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wright, while state elections fall under the Macalister electorate.
